An Afternoon of Resilience: Marc Fucarile, Boston Marathon Bombing Survivor & Motivational Speaker

Join Maplewood at Weston for an inspiring afternoon with Marc Fucarile — Boston Marathon Bombing survivor, motivational speaker, and founder of The ReMARCable Foundation Network.

On April 15, 2013, Marc's life changed in an instant when he survived the Boston Marathon Bombing. The attack cost him his right leg above the knee and left his other leg severely damaged — a limb he fought for years to save. Over the course of more than three years in and out of hospitals and countless surgeries, Marc discovered something just as powerful as his own resilience: the transformative impact of community showing up for one another.

Fueled by gratitude and a promise to give back, Marc went on to found The ReMARCable Foundation Network, a 501(c)(3) dedicated to improving the lives of people with mobility challenges and disabilities. He also created The M.A.R.C. Network Inc., a free mobile app connecting individuals facing mobility challenges with loved ones, resources, and community support.

In this special presentation, Marc will share his story of perseverance, gratitude, and the belief that even in the face of unimaginable adversity, we all have the power to create something truly remarkable.

Following the presentation, guests are invited to stay for a reception featuring seasonal appetizers including shrimp cocktail cups, fruit skewers with minted yogurt dip, and homemade watermelon lemonade spritzers.

This event is free and open to the community. RSVP is required. Reserve your spot today here.
